The Housebound Project concluded last Friday (12.06.20) and their website launches today, collecting together all 70 submissions.

Housebound began at the beginning of the Covid-19 Lockdown with the aim to bring together designers, illustrators and image makers to inspire others within their four walls.

In addition, project organisers Bill Hards and George Stockley have created two posters, each available in editions of 50, printed on Munken Smooth White 170gsm provided by sponsors GF Smith.

Proceeds are donated to Mind.

Slanted Magazine is a publication based in Berlin and their next issue is devoted to the theme of ‘Co-exist’. Its content will contemplate how we face the future beyond the current Covid-19 lockdown.

Slanted have called out for submissions from designers and image makers to respond to ‘Co-exist’ but with the caveat of creating work which moves away from messages of ‘wash your hands’ or ‘stay home’. Instead outcomes must consider, ‘how we question ourselves, show consideration and step back’ and respond to the social and political challenges of a global pandemic.

For my submission I explored the theme of trust.

Design exercises such as this work and my previous Corona graphics have explored thoughts and messages in response to the crisis. Hopefully they inform and inspire others while maintaining my own resolve and wellbeing. Inspiration finds you working. And the results define the moment of living in a society during lockdown, how we manage anxiety and navigate the way forward.
